Has anyone ever done
EMDR
? Was it helpful? I'm so stressed about it.

Starting to lose hope.....
My therapist tried some
EMDR
. I just couldn’t buy in. We’ve reviewed some CBT skills. I’m exhausted and I have no idea how to move forward. I don’t even really have a question. I guess I just need a place to say out loud the things I would never tell my family. 😞

Is EMDR supposed to induce panic attacks?
I recently started
EMDR
with my therapist and my very first session I was a hair away from full blown attack. By the end I was shaking couldn't sit still and crying. I thought the whole point of
EMDR
was to help get rid of these attacks. I'm so glad I was with my therapist when that happened.

An update
She practices hypnotherapy and uses
EMDR
for healing purposes along with CBT. My first appointment is tomorrow at noon. I am very nervous because I feel as if I cannot heal myself from these constant symptoms, so I have to give therapy a try.

Hi just wondering if anyone else has experienced dissociation either through
emdr
Therapy or just anyway. I did the other day and have found it a bit disconcerting. Basically just after reassurance its normal and won't keep happening!!

Wanted to share some positive results from EMDR therapy and new medication
I would say my anxiety is down like 80%. I have had 4 panic attack’s over like 8 weeks. That is a huge improvement as I was having them almost daily. I must include that I started on 60 mg of cymbalta around the same time starting the therapy. Not sure which one or if it’s a tandem effect, but would

Overwhelmed
I initially had cbt and a course of
emdr
which resolved some of my issues.. I also really struggled with social situations and talking to people and recently finished a course of CBASP therapy. This helped so much that I was finally able to admit to pretty bad hoarding.

neuropsychiatrist
Morning, So I've had
EMDR
, counselling, CBT but yesterday I travelled to London for my first appointment with a neuropsychiatrist.... what do they even do? I seem to recycle my problems to all these specialists and they do not differ apart from their job title.

Nothing helps! Getting longer, more intense and frequent!
After months and months with an
EMDR
therapist we couldn't get the root trauma with which to ever start the actual desensitization exercises. CBT was ineffective because I can't even reach a conscious awareness of the negative thoughts. Emotional Freedom Tapping provided no relief.

Functional blackouts, with a vasovagal syncope twist.
The problem is he blacks out when he gets anxious, so talking therapy, CBT and
emdr
, have not helped as he is usually unconscious for most of the sessions.
